Farmer's Market

Tonight our family finally made it to The Farmer's Market in Sparks. We had an incredible time. The atmosphere was really lively and friendly. There was such a diversity of people there and the fruit stands were great. So many samples too, even if you don't plan on buying anything it is worth it just for the tastes. There were peaches and cherries so sweet they make you never want to eat candy again. There were a lot of food vendors too. We opted for a chicken teryaki skewer that had so much meat it fed the three of us, for only $5! Bailey hasn't eaten a lot of meat before but she inhaled this chicken. We bought a pound of cherries and let me tell you Bailey could not get enough.

We also saw a group of mounted police officers, one of which was on a Clydesdale. You don't realize just how big these horses are until you see them with others. The Clydesdale made the other officers horses look like ponies. The rider was also showing off a little, he had the horse dancing for the amusement of the crowd. Bailey loved the horses, she just had a grin that went from ear to ear.

In the end it was a great evening and well worth the trip and the crowds, we give the Sparks Hometown Farmers market a hearty six Sadler thumbs up.
